I have had quite an accomplishment this Summer, first by returning to college after 8 years while working full-time and being a full-time mom and wife. But I just can't take my eyes off the prize which at this time is to finish my degree. Work has been kinda hectic since I moved from my previous job to be closer to school and now that I could leave earlier to go to college. It is worth the sacrifice cause I just recieved my second grade and both are A's. I now feel even more motivated to study harder and to challenge myself. I've also registered for more courses in the fall now that I understand what is required. This past week I have had time to relax myself a great deal since my course is over. It is such a relief coming home early and not having assignments due the next day. Work is work, there I'm always busy. Today, I had to train someone for another site. I really don't like training staff because it really takes alot but I get alot of credit from my managers when I train someone new or do stuff that's not in my job description. Besides my director has become a very good friend of mine and she is always there if I need a favor or there is any promotion she does recommend me, another reason that I need my degree so I am not limited to what I can apply for. Actually, she was the one that suggests that I go back to college. I have a great job and it pays ok without a degree. Most people have a degree but don't make half as much so I wasn't planning to go back to college but I don't want to limit myself. I also get alot of insentives from friends at work that I love. It's all about teamwork!
Old Rivals and Former Friends ...
I really don't have any enemies or rivals from my past or present, however, there are some people that I no longer wish to have as aquaintances. People that used to be my friend at one point in time but have grown up to be so very painfully different that I wish to say I never knew them. This is where I would cease all contact with people that are leading a disgraceful life. Another set of former friends are quite the opposite and think that they are better of that being friends with me which is totally fine with me. I don't need the "show off" as my friends anyway. Well, some people you just "click" with right away and well my instincts are most times right when it comes to judging people. Then there are the male friends who I honestly don't have any of, well ever since I got married, and that's not the reason, most of my male friends were from college whom I simply lost contact with. However, some guys think that we could be friends when I know it is not friendship they are after. So, true friends are hard to find and when you do have such friends you should cherish your friendship.
